• Computer networking is done through different communication means, Telephone lines, wires, cables, satellite links, radio frequency are various means of communications.

• There are many ways in which Computer networking can setup. These methods of linking computers are known as Topology.

3.Benifits of computer-networking : 

     The benifits of networking "wired or wireless" in houses are, 

•  File sharing-Networking file sharing between computers gives you more flexibility than using floppy drives or zip drives. Not only can you share photos, music, files, videos, documents, you can also use a home network to save copies of all of your important data on a different computer. Backups are one of the most critical yet overlooked tasks in home networking

• Printer/Peripheral sharing once a home network is in place, it is easy to then set up all of the computers to share a single printer. No longer will you need to bounce from one system or another just to print out an email message. Other computer peripheral can be shared similarly such as network scanner, web cams and CD burners. 

• Internet connection sharing-using a home network, multiple family members can access the internet simultaneously without having to pay an ISP for multiple accounts. You will notice the internet connection slows down when several people share it, but broadband internet connections can handle the extra load with little trouble. Sharing dial-up Internet connections works, too. Painfully slow sometimes, you will still appreciate having shared dial-up on those occasions you really need it.

Multi-player games-many popular home computer games support LAN mode where friends and family can play together, if they have their computers networked. 

• Home entertainment-Newer home entertainment products such as digital video records (DVRs) and video game console now support either wired or wireless home networking. Having these products integrated into you network enables online internet gaming, video sharing and other advanced features. 

 Although you can realize these same benifits with a wired home network, you should carefully consider building a wireless home network instead, for the following reasons ;

• Computer Mobility : Notebook computers and other portable devices are much affordable than they were a few years ago. With a mobile computer and wireless home network, you are not chained to a network cord and can work on the couch, on your porch or wherever in the house is most convenient at the moment. 

• No unsightly wires : Business can afford to lay cable under  their floors or inside walls. But most of us do not have the time or inclination to fuss with this in our home, you'll save substantial time and energy avoiding the cabling mess and going wireless.  

• Wireless is the future : Wireless technology is clearly the future of networking. In building a wireless home network, you will learn about the technology and be able to teach your friends and relatives. You will also be better prepared for future advance in network technology coming in the future.
